Abstract
5'-0-Dimethoxytritylthymidine (2) was phosphorylated and base-modified simultaneously to yield the 4-triazolopyrimidinone nucleotide (3). Coupling between (3) and other common deoxyribonucleotides gave a fully protected nonamer (4). Deblocking under different conditions yielded the nonamer as phosphodiester with concomitant conversion of 4-triazolopyrimidinone to 5-methylcytosine (aqueous ammonia) or thymine (N1,N1,N3,N3-tetramethyl-guanidinium syn-4-nitrobenzaldoximate solution).
